OUR VISION, MISSION & AIMS

CEO & FOUNDER

The aims and aspirations of OBON are extremely impressive and timely. I wish the project all the success it so richly deserves and I support its vision of one Nation with all my heart.

We are living in a time of unprecedented change as the country prepares for leaving the EU, and many people are experiencing feelings of uncertainty and fears about the future. Whatever the final outcome, we must do all we can to ensure that we remain a united country, celebrating our common history and values. This is especially important for our children and young people, and I fully endorse this year’s campaign for OBON and the vital focus on instilling and sustaining cohesion and togetherness for all our communities and especially amongst the young.

OBON wants to utilise the strength of all our people to build a proud nation where everyone has a strong shared sense of belonging and aspires to play an important role in the life of our nation, the future for our children

Our broad diversity is a quintessential illustration of the progress of British society. OBON is devoted to galvanising the efforts of people from all backgrounds to rejoice in their pride in Great Britain.

OBON wants to build an even stronger Britain. A society built on compassion, tolerance and harmony based on mutual respect.

OUR COMMON IDENTITY

Our ideal is based on a set of values, a spirit, a way of living and a state of mind that is ultimately about shared values of tolerance, respect, fair play, a belief in freedom and democracy. It is about seeking to create a single culture that embraces and accommodates differences without over-emphasising and reinforcing them.

It is one which is inclusive, meaningful and capable of restoring civil pride and creating unity of purpose with a strong shared sense of belonging for all our people. It is a national mission with a patriotic vision that unifies people with a common bond of working for the future of our country.
